The multi-coloured 'fall foliage' of New England and Canada, the soaring skyline of New York, the breathtaking Canadian Rockies - just three of the unique experiences to be had in North America. The fast paced 'shop 'til you drop' cities of New York and Boston are the starting points for New England and Canada cruises whilst also being great places to start your land-based tour of the region.

On the other side of the vast continent, laid-back San Francisco and stylish Los Angeles boast iconic sights, whilst the holiday island of Hawaii is within easy range by cruise ship or simply as a relaxing way to end your tour. Moving further north, the fantastic scenery of Alaska and wildlife, one of the world's premier cruise destinations, awaits.

You'll never run out of things to do in the city that never sleeps, from the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square to the city's world-renowned museums, shopping, and vast culinary choices. It's an incredibly diverse and active place, consisting of an intricate patchwork of neighbourhoods, each with its own character and history, yet seamlessly coexisting.

In the southern states a diverse cultural mix of food, music and people means the region is thriving with unique experiences. A tour or Mississippi river cruise through places such as Nashville, New Orleans and Memphis will introduce you to Creole, French and typically Southern aspects of the American way of life.

Across the border in Canada, nature takes over and adventure awaits. The Rocky Mountains, Niagara Falls and giant national parks host exhilarating activities, with the former being home to a spectacular rail route in the form of the Rocky Mountaineer. That's not to say that cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal don't offer plenty of fantastic cultural sights for you to admire.

Pandaw River Cruises

Sailing on a Pandaw ship is an outdoor, fresh air experience. However comfortable and roomy the staterooms, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above. Unlike most other cruise ships, every window on board (except for the portholes on the lower deck) can be opened and closed to suit your comfort.
